During Pulaski's lifetime, he was married four times. First was Sarah Jerome born in New York. Second was Olive Cross Third was Anna Boardwine Fourth was Hannah Ackerson Jones Pulaski Scovil was a real pioneer. In 1826, he went to Livingston County, New York, bought a sawmill and 300 acres of timber, which he soon sold at an advance, and went to Brockport, in company with a silversmith and jeweler; but he soon had the business alone, and manufactured silverware and sent out peddlers of his wares and jewelry until 1831, when he moved to Geneva, New York, continuing in the same business with the addition of dry goods and notions. In June 1831, he married Sarah Jerome; she was born in Onondaga Co., New York, in 1813 and deceased in 1840. In the fall of 1832 he took his broken stocks to Buffalo, New York, and opened an auction store; it took three months to dispose of all the goods. He then went to Cincinnati, Ohio, and commenced the manufacturing of silverware and the jewelry business in general, which he continued successfully for five years. In the spring of 1837, he moved to Havana, Mason County, where he owned an interest in a steam saw mill, bought the balance of the mill, and went to lumbering generally. This mill burned down in 1841. He then went to Waterford, Fulton County, Illinois, and bought an old mill and fitted it up, and in 1845 he built another; both of these were destroyed by fire in 1850— uninsured; he then went to Salt Creek Township, where he now resides, and has since followed farming. The first year, with the help of one man, he broke 120 acres of prairie, from which he got his first crop of fall wheat—3,500 bushels, which may be considered a good yield. Mr. Scoville owns 565 acres of splendid land in Salt Creek Township, and a fine home and surroundings, and 400 acres in Missouri. Pulaski died well off in this world's goods. He made a division of some of his land, giving to all his boys 80 acres each and to his daughters 20 acres each. Some of his children were running his farm about 1897. All who ever knew him spoke of him as a real old country gentleman. We hope that this history may be continued sometime by some of our children and grandchildren so that the record of our family may live.
